Ella villi, Ga.,Nov. 20.—Many
people thought that it wo could
only get a railroad to this place
that It would he all that was need
ed, but wo have found out that a
railroad, even if it does conneot
with the Southwestern, is not as
big a picnic as we expected. In
the first .place, we thought that
through rates had been pledged by
tWe Central’ railroad, hut wo find
that the cost of shipping cotton
pyer this road to Andersonvllle is
twelve cents per hundred and from
Andorsonville to Macon is twenty
four cents, making thirty-six cents
per hundred from this place to
MacOn; “whereas” if wo had
through freight rates the cost
would be twenty-five cents per
hundred. Now there is no need to
try to disgujee, the fact thkt such
disadvantages hurt, especially
when we are trying to "compete
with Americus. I am not sorry
that wo have the railroad, not by
any means, but would like to see
things a litlie more even. The
freight and passenger traffio has
exceeded the expectations of the
directors and it is so convenient.
The road will be finished to Buena
Vista by Christmas and then we
will get through rates, I hope.
A Primitive Baptist minister
preached at the Baptist church not
long since, and there was not a fe
male in the Congregation. About
twenty-live men were out to hear
him. The 3inglng sounded awful
queer.
Cotton is st’ll coming in, and
our merchants aro happy. More
goods hath been sold here this fall
than any fall since the town was
laid out. .. A hardware atore would
do a big business here.
Col. H. H v Jonef, editor of tho

Youthful Politicians.
Scdt'it Democrat
While the voters of the country
have been worked up to a great
pitch of excitement over tho presi
dential election, the enthusiasm and
excitement has not been theirs only.
It has permeated every avenue of
life, and even the little children
have been transformed into politi
cians, and have debated with each
other as earnestly and zealously as
though the fate of the country hung
upon them. It has been no uncom
mon thing to hear a couple of ehil
dren, probably not over nine or ten
years old, discussing the tariff with
all the animation ol a congressman
—and with almost a, good judg-
mentas some congressmen exercise.
The past month has been one of un-
usal fun for the youthful population,
who have joined in the noise and
demonstrations of the older people
with great satisfaction, and have
made the horns and tin pans pro-.
duce the most horrid and discord
ant sounds. The excitement hss
sharpened the children’s wita, and
it has been quite amusing to watob
two little ones of opposite politics
meet, and taunt each other with
sarcastic allusions and political
squibs. The little Cleveland girl
would repeat with withering; soorn.
Cleveland sits in the parlor
Talking to the ladies;
Blaine site in the kitchen
Nursing nigger babiee."
Then the little Blaine girl wonld
shout out:
"Piclcel oats end pickled rats
Are good enough for Democrats."
This would be replied to by the
first saying:
"Tin pans and rusty cans
Are good enough for Republicans.
Then Number Two would sing
out:
"Blaine and Cleveland.
Fighting for a fly;
Blaine gave Cleveland
Two black eyee."
Number One warming up to the
situation, replies
Blaine went home with a pound ot but
ter;
Cleveland kioked him in tba gnttar;
Logan laid it wasn’t fair,
Barium's Cemmlttse. .. j

It is a well-known faet that when
hounds get close on to their quarry
they are inseniible to all else that
is going on. Lately Sir N.-.-de

Northwestern Railway. Tha train
was entering a deep cutting, when
the brakes were snddenly applied.
On looking out .to ascertain . the
cause of the stoppage, Mm passen-
gers wc.-o surprised to see a fbU
grown stag rushing along the line
with the pack of 'hounds ih full

imvo been mangled if the engineer
had not stopped the train. . - ,
THE VOTE OF SEW Y0I1K.
Tha Avara'ira Democratic Plaialltjr
Declared to be 1,140.
Albany, N. Y., November 21
The board of state canvassers met
at noon to-day- All the member)
were present. Secretary Wood
announced the footings of the
tables as follows; Highest demo-
cratio.elector, W. . Priest, 563,153;
highest republican elector, Mr.
Carsan, 562,005; plurality, 1,149;
lowest democratic elector, Mr. Ot-
tendorter, 563,048; lowest republi
can elector i Mr. Harris, 561,971;
plurality, 1;077; highest prohibi
tion elector, Mr. ; Miller, 25 006;
lowest, Mr. Ellenworth, 24,948;
highest Butler elector, Mr. O'Don-
ncll.-lT,004; lowest, Mr. Campbell,
16,.761. After this announcement
the. members of the board, slgoed
the tables and certificates.
Hendrieks said he didn’t ears/'
Number Two, however, i* not to
be blufied thus, but cornea up to
the mark with;
"Blaine is a gentleman,
Cleveland is a fool,
Logan rifles a whito hone,
Hendrieks rides a mole,"
A very appropriate answer to
this is found by Number One in:
“Cleveland is a gentleman,
Hendrioks la a man;
Blaine la a scoundrel,
Whom Logan help! to fan."
This worries little Number Two
a triflie, but she bravely answers
"Cleveland is a wagon,
Hendrioks is a horse;
Logan is the driver,
And Blaine is tho boas."
And the talk is kept up until one
or the other gets tired and runs off
home to “tell my ma.” God bless
the little ones, and ever keep them
as full of life and spirit as they now
are.

Thd’Way To Ho It.
,,A great ileal has been said about
our farmers raising their meat.
That it pays to do so has been
demonstrated by .Mr. W. S. Askew,
one of our most thrifty and enter-
terprialng farmers. He has raised
this year about sixty hogs, and
hs« this season sold 44 bead, 36
of which-were sold in this market
this week. He realized nearly
three ^hundred dollars for them.
The cost of those sold be docs not
think is more than seventy-five
dollars, making a clean profit ol
more than two hundred dollars.
Besides this lie has a sufficient
number in bis pen, waiting for the
cold weather, which will be more
than sufficient to run him for an
other year, and which have not
cost him up to the present more
than twenty-five dollars. What
one can do, all can do, and then
our farmers would be the most in-
‘ dependent class on earth.—Coweta
The Work en Flint Hrvcr.
Nzwrorr, Ga., Nov. 21—The
writer, in company with Governor
B. F. Budspith, Messrs, W. W.
Williams, Sam J. Livingston and
P. L. Odom, visited the barge on
Flint river, six miles below Now-
ton, on tho I7th Instant, and found
Mr. Smith, the superintendent,
comfortably located on tbe water's
edge in bis cottage barge. When
we were seated around tbe dinner
table it reminded one of the deli
cious dinners spread upon tho
tables of steamboats. Mr. Smith
has the best cook in Baker county,
and his bill of fare is second to no
hotel’s. Tbe work is progressing
finely, and should high water not
prevent, the river will be cleaned
out to Newton by January first.
Colonel Slaughter, tbe general su
perintendent of tbe barges on Flint
and Chattahoochee rivers, looks al
ter tbe business very closely, and
no dcubt gives entire satisfaction.
Rain is greatly needed in Baker
county. Welle that have furnished
an abundant supply of water for
years have failed, and tho people
all over tbe country are hauling
water from creeks and ponds.
Grace Before Heat.
Tbe minister bad been Invited to
dinner.
While grace wae being said Tom
my eyed the unwonted good thing*
spread before him with pleasurable
anticipation.
“Ma.” said be when tbe minister
bed concluded, “do you know why
pa doesn’t give thanks every day
at tbe table.”
Hi* mother shot a warning glance
at him.
“ ’Cause it’e only when tbe mtn-
ister’e here tbst we bnve anything
worth givln’ thanks for.”
A man has walked on the waters
of tbe Seine. He hsd etch foot In
a small triangular box, securely
fastened with straps around hie
legs, and tn his hands, be carried a
long balanolng pale, similar to
those used by rope dancers, except
that at each end woe attached'*
large inflated bladder. When get:
ting off his balance, he dipped the
end of the pole, and the resistance
censed by the bladder touching the
water restored him to bis equilib
rium.
There is not, according to Ool.
Scott, a single bird or beast pro
tected by game law* for which
England was not originally In
debted to some foreign country.
Tbe hare came from Northern
Asia; tbe rabbit from Africa,
whence ke crossed into Spain; tbe
pheasant from tbe river Pbatls, in'
Asia Minor, from which he de-
rlves his name, and the. partridge
from Scandinavia and Northern
Europe. < .
A scientific observer claims that
tho flatness of tbe esirtib at, tha pole
brings the polar ocean thirteen
miles nearer thsn any Other ' por
tions of the globe to the central
ball of fire, upon which he believw..
tbe earth to be built. Consequent
ly, the heat is so great that the-,
water could never freeze over, and
if there is a eea at that spot at all
it mast be an open on*.
